CALL 4 NODES - BE A PART, DON'T BE APART
Hackmeeting 2005

v.2.0

..:: INTRO ::..
--------------------------------------------------------------
This message is a call for YOUR participation into the 2005
edition of the HackMeeting, taking place the 21st, 22nd and
23rd of October in Menorca (Spain). We are looking forward
to receive proposals for nodes of workshops, activities,
debates, meetings, etc. in order to create a network of
activities and encounters around hacktivism, cyberspace,
telecommunications and its technopolitical dimensions during
a full (and free) weekend.
We've switched from the traditional call4papers to the
call4nodes where participation is not restricted to just
papers but to a wider range of media (workshops, conferences,
round tables, expositions, posters, etc) that build-up the
so-called nodes. As you already may know, the HM is actually
a participative event where the breach between organizers and
public melts into the necessity for collective self-managing
of the event. Thus we are looking forward to see you joining
us!
This year, the hackmeeting will be held along the
constant struggle for the liberation of spaces and networks
for knowledge circulation. In the physical aspect, we won
the sue for the illegal eviction of the CSOA Labo03 [1] (a
squatted and self-managed social center in Madrid); at the
european parliament we also won the refusal of the software
patents law; at the cyberspace, our virtual meeting point,
we are celebrating the constant increase of our community
[2] and that of more robust, stable and, of course, free
systems. There are still efforts trying to set up orwelian
control systems around us, such as the Data Retention Program
[3] whose implementation, if approved at the EU parliament,
would store about 4 years of Internet and telephone
(including mobile phones).
During our constant work for the creation of spaces for
collective experimentation, knowledge difusion and skill
sharing, we often clash against bureaucratically compiled
programs (designed to stop this kind of activities): for
instance those materialized into police forces and estate
agencies which execute inexistent judicial orders that have
already obliterated the "L'Estella" squat from Mataró [4]
--where the hackmeeting was going to take place this year--
now relocated at "La Fibra" squat [5], the squat "Llucalari"
from Menorca was also taken over, later relocated in
Biniancolla (Menorca) and currently under eviction threat.
Growing under the counter-culture movement, HackMeetings
defend the right to experiment in freedom, to open up new
spaces for colletive creation and to overcome our individual
limitations by the reconstruction and self-management of
preexistent social codes and spaces.
